Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line an 8x8” square baking dish with parchment paper and grease. Set aside.
Combine cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt in a small bowl, set aside.
In a microwave safe dish or on the stovetop, melt butter, peanut butter and ¾ cup semisweet chocolate together and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together for 1 minute.
Add the melted chocolate mixture and beat until combined.
Add the dry ingredients and beat until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
Add ½ cup chocolate chips and stir until they’re evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs.
Let sit for about 10 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

Ingredient Substitution Notes

Creamy peanut butter: crunchy peanut butter, or any nut or seed butter works well.
Semisweet chocolate: milk or dark chocolate work well too. You can use bars, chips, or discs because this chocolate is melted.
Salted butter: coconut oil or vegan butter are both good substitutes.
Sugar: organic cane sugar, white sugar or coconut sugar all work well.
Cornstarch. tapioca starch/flour or arrowroot powder are all good substitutes.
